- Growatt SPH 5000 battery
- Fully funded installation
- Significant bill reduction for retired household
- Sized around actual daily usage pattern
The context
A retired couple on a fixed income with rising energy bills. They had looked into solar before but assumed it was too expensive. The Warm Homes Plan funding made the installation fully affordable — the system was installed at no upfront cost to them.
The system
A 4kW solar array paired with a Growatt SPH 5000 battery. The system was sized around the couple's actual daily usage pattern — lower than average, but concentrated in the morning and evening when solar generation is lower. The battery bridges the gap between when the panels generate and when the household needs the electricity.
The result
The couple now generate and store enough electricity to cover most of their daily usage. Their energy bills have reduced significantly. The installation was fully funded through the Warm Homes Plan.
